It’s been a strange sort of week.
The tooth drama rolls on sapping my energy as the weeks pass, today I’ve taken up the offer of a second round of antibiotics prescribed by my dentist, ‘just in case’. Getting to the root cause of the pain has turned into a tedious game of hide and seek. I can tell you it hurts most when I drive up hill (don’t laugh it isn’t funny, remember? I live at the top of a hill. Maybe there is a reason for this?) Mr Uphilldowndale and the boys can vouch for the fact my sense of humour is AWOL too.
Something else disappeared this week, Police Inspector Gadget blog. This leaves a gapping hole in the blogosphere, as long as I’ve been blogging Gadget has been popping by here, he was especially fond of Spud the dog. One of his clear crisp text messages told me he’d written his last post and was pulling the blog. No fuss no drama. 24 hours later it was gone.
Gadget is always a man of his word, I know that. The news didn’t surprise me and yet it did, after all, seven years of blogging, 12 million hits and up to five hundred comments or more per post, not to mention the book, has to be a huge part of someone’s life.
My camera has not seen the light of day this week, so I’ll leave you with a suitably occluded image from my visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a few weeks ago.

Good heavens! Could this problem be getting too close to the bone? Let there be an end to this soon!

Amen to that…

I’m really sorry to hear about the continuing toothache. It is a very wearing ailment indeed.

I’m sorry to read that your tooth troubles are persisting. It’s sad to see that Inspector Gadget’s blog has gone but I’m surprised that it lasted for as long as it did. xx

Oooh, ‘occluded’ is an unusual word. I don’t think I’ve ever used that one. And yes, it is suitable, because here is the Merriam Webster’s definition: ” to come into contact with cusps of the opposing teeth fitting together “. I doubt you are champing your teeth together much at the moment. I hope the pain goes away soon.

I am so sorry to hear that you are still suffering from toothache. I bet you have been tempted to yell, “Just take the damn thing out!!” I’m hoping that the problem will be remedied soon and then you’ll feel like a new woman!

The problem has been until a couple of days ago, we couldn’t locate which tooth was the culprit. We can now, oh yes. I’m ready to be a new women, this one is very weary…

Sounds like a trying couple of weeks for everyone (me, too — sigh). I hope your dentist finds the solution to your tooth problem, and I hope PSD doesn’t find Gadget. Love to Spud, Jammy, Dodger and Kibblechops as well.
